Daughter called saying two first class tickets on the Flying Scotsman to London...Free!
Four hours there, four hours back and 6 hours in London.
Great! I'll spent most of the day at the London Chess Shop on Baker Street and Mrs C can do the tourist thing.
(she went on the Eye, Madame Tussauds and Buck House.)
One reason (the main reason) for going was to pick up Andrew's book - it was sold out!
Dilemma.
Mrs C. said I could only spend up to £30. The next book on the list was Nigel's 'Winning Chess' but that is £29.00.
Get Nigel's book and a chess pen or one of them unbreakable chess sets, a snazzy blue and white chessboard,
a few 2nd hand books...and a chess pen. I chose....
Off the Board Chess - (is off the shelves...)
